Yes it is possible, but hasn't been done for a long time.
This is not for beginners. I think you may find pages on this. Try a search
engine.
FYI, we have GHDL binary from-source on Linux via unofficially Gentoo ebuild.
As someone know, Gentoo ebuild looks like raw shell script, IMHO.
Of cource, Linux != Cygwin is definitely true.
But it could be a bit of help for beginners who want to build GHDL
from the source.
And yes, I'm not sure if that script is really correct way, though.

IIRC, Cygwin has no official packages manegement tools unlike normal Linux
distributions' environmant.
Thus, it means strayed-build binary/libraries/headers may make mess
your system's
consistency, if you couldn't make is as a suit package.
Tristan:
BTW, if you have a time to review the ebuild's GHDL packaging process,
any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,

You may want to slightly modify ghdl so that it can load a dll.

Ok.

Try to build a Cygwin version.
If you made patches I will be happy to integrate them.
Tristan.
